Sui (SUI) and Celestia (TIA) Risk Suffering a Short Squeeze as the Market Imbalance Appears
Oct 04, 2024 at 10:41 pm
As October started, the cryptocurrency market faced a significant crash, increasing the bearish sentiment and attracting highly capitalized short-sellers. Some cryptocurrencies now risk suffering a short squeeze as imbalances appear in the market's open interest, dominated by short positions.
As October began, cryptocurrency traders were presented with a unique scenario in the derivatives market.
As the بازار خرس نقطه عطف خود را افزایش می دهد و سرمایه گذاران بزرگ کوتاه مدت را به خود جذب می کند، برخی از ارزهای دیجیتال اکنون در معرض خطر تجربه فشار کوتاه مدت هستند.
According to data from CoinGlass, Sui (SUI) and Celestia (TIA) stand out with remarkably high negative funding rates. On October 4, SUI and TIA short sellers were paying 71.54% and 124.88% APR, respectively, to holders of long positions.
These funding rates were the most lopsided among the 30 cryptocurrencies with the highest open interest in the market.

In essence, funding rates can increase or decrease rapidly due to imbalances between open shorts and longs, which can play a role in the price action dynamics. Highly shorted markets will punish short sellers with a higher cost to keep their positions open, potentially leading to a short squeeze.
Sui (SUI) short squeeze on the horizon
First, Sui reached an all-time high open interest of $502.28 million on October 2, while trading at $1.85. This was largely driven by a surge in short positions, which is evident from SUI’s funding rates turning sharply negative.
The trend continued, and on October 4, the token clocked a record negative funding rate at the $1.69 price point. As things stand, Sui could soon experience a short squeeze if demand for the token sees an unexpected surge.
It’s worth noting that the last time SUI saw such a lopsided imbalance, weighted by its total open interest, the token went on to register a significant increase in price during August, as Finbold highlighted at the time.

Celestia (TIA) extreme negative funding rates
Second, Celestia features the highest imbalance in the market, with a nearly -125% funding rate at the last check. This, however, appears to be a normal state for the native token TIA, judging by the cryptocurrency’s historical funding rate.
Moreover, despite having the highest negative rate, Celestia had far worse short-selling imbalances in the past when weighted by OI. Similar to SUI, its chart shows how negative funding rate spikes usually preceded short squeezes, followed by price increases.
While increased short-selling and high negative funding rates can potentially lead to short squeezes and price surges, traders should proceed with caution. This is because short positions tend to increase when an asset is overbought or bearish sentiment dominates the market.
For instance, SUI recently clocked a short-duration surge of over 100%, suggesting an overbought cryptocurrency. TIA, on the other hand, is evidently dominated by short sellers amidst a sustained bearish perception since July.
Hence, these projects might not experience a short squeeze unless further data suggests otherwise and the sentiment shifts. Traders can open and close positions at any time, re-evaluating their trades based on the market’s dynamics.
